For the first time a combination backup service is being offered by Blackdog services. This essential service is a clever combination of onsite and offsite backup.

We have tried many of the offsite solutions but always found them to be cumbersome and expensive. Restoring a file from an online (offsite) backup server took far too long and was over complicated. Conversely, an onsite only backup solution, whilst being fast and efficient, comes with its own weaknesses when relocating the data to an offsite storage facility.

Data Kennel is our managed onsite/offsite backup solution for company with valuable data to secure. The service is managed from a proprietary backup appliance that is maintained in your offices. This appliance is plugged into your network and becomes the core engine for all of your data security. It handles all backup workload and will allow you to select data from your computers, compress, encrypt and delete files.

This appliance also acts as a local data bank where the backed up files are available for rapid restoration to one of your computers when required. Data Kennel is our managed onsite/offsite backup solution for company with valuable data to secure.

Without interrupting your business, the appliance communicates with the offsite servers and sends a copy of your files securely to our data centres. This does take some time for the initial transfer, maybe up to a week or so, but once delivered, subsequent small daily changes take no time at all. This ensures that should the backup appliance fail through fire, flood, theft or even a breakdown, all your valuable data is safe outside of the building and is accurately mirrored.

When you order a Data Kennel solution from Blackdog Services, our technician will attend your site and set the appliance up for you. You will be trained in the use of the software if you wish, we can control it all remotely on your behalf if that suits you better. All you pay is a one off setup charge and a monthly service charge based upon the amount of data selected for backup.
